Everyone Lends a Helping Hand

At camp, everyone does a little bit of everything, and everyone dreams big! You will find that your position
often includes things that you never thought of doing, like coaching a child to be responsible for his own
choices or dressing up in a silly costume. Still, we do have different types of jobs, and it is helpful to
review them all so that you can choose the one that best fits your talents and interests.

COUNSELORS

GROUP COUNSELORS are responsible for 15-20 campers within a certain age group.
You will care for these campers’ needs throughout the day and will travel with them to their different
activity periods. At these activity areas, you will assist the activity counselors (specialists) with
group dynamics and with skills demonstration (when you are familiar with the skill). By providing encouragement
and support to your campers, you will lead them to accomplish things they never thought they could!

SPECIALISTS(ACTIVITY COUNSELORS) are almost the same as group
counselors. The only real difference is that rather than travelling with a single group, you will teach a
specific skill (e.g. soccer, swimming, drama) to a variety of groups that visit you during their activity
period. In a typical day, you will see many more campers, providing constant positive feedback and guiding
them to strive for excellence in all they do. Sample activity areas include swim instruction, lifeguarding,
boating, archery, tennis, athletics, horseback riding, nature, challenge course, rock climbing, dance, drama,
music, ceramics, woodworking, arts & crafts, cooking, and more!

GROUP COUNSELORS and SPECIALISTS must have already completed at least one year of college.

ASSISTANT GROUP COUNSELORS and ASSISTANT SPECIALISTS
are entering 11th grade, 12th grade, or college, and have the same positions as those described above.

COUNSELORS-IN-TRAINING are entering 9th and 10th grades. If you are interested
in a summer in the outdoors where you can gain work and leadership experience for the future, while also
socializing with your peers in a wholesome environment, visit the application
section of our siteor call us for details. There is a tuition fee for this program
to defray the costs of bus transportation and other included services.
